Haha.....You should have tried the place 16-17 or more years ago, it realy was the wild west then and was inhabited by Thais who were mainly descendants of coconut pickers and pirates. AC Bar was there all that time ago, the owner of Ban's Diving got shot during the day, Mr J would "sort" out visa stamps for foreigners that didn't want to leave the island, nobody had work permits, Sari Beach was a mellow place to be, no hospitals or viable medical services/just a part time clinic, people would die falling down old disguarded hidden wells on the island from the time it was a prison etc. and yeeee-haaa with everthing.

Veritable paradise now compared.
